Is there a way to hide a file share on Windows Server 2012 R2?<br />
<br />
I would like to create a share that is universally accessible by users but will not show up if they browse the network.<br />
<br />
ie. \\SERVER\IT-Admin<br />
<br />
If I type that in from any workstation it is accessible, but invisible if someone browses the network?

Microsoft Virtual Server was a virtualization solution that facilitated the creation of virtual machines on the Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2003 operating systems. Virtual machines are created and managed through a web-based interface that relies on Internet Information Services (IIS) or through a Windows client application tool called VMRCplus. Features included Linux guest operating system support, Virtual Disk Precompactor, symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), x64 host operating system support, the ability to mount virtual hard drives on the host machine and additional operating systems support, including Windows Vista, and a volume shadow copy writer.
